Rosalie’s calm heartbeat hammered again upon hearing the children’s question.Byron’s voice sounded, and he seemed to be happy. “Do you like it? I didn’t know what to buy, and the promoter suggested I buy this. I happened to think that this necklace would suit you too.”That gave Rosalie just enough reason to avoid looking at Byron.Rosalie turned around and looked at the necklace through the side mirror.The thin platinum necklace was draped over her neck, and the pendant was a simple circle with a small diamond around it. The pendant was between her collarbones, making her look elegant.Even she was a little stunned.Byron was behind her suddenly, and he asked again, “How is it?”Rosalie snapped out of her astonishment and smiled at him as she turned around. “It’s beautiful, and I like it, Pre—”She almost called him President Lawrence habitually. However, recalling their ambiguous relationship, Rosalie paused and said, “Thank you. It’s very nice of you to buy me this.”Byro
It was already dark before they knew it.Byron had driven Rosalie to her business trip, bought presents, and helped her take things into the villa. Thus, Rosalie naturally invited him to dinner.After dinner, he played with the kids for a while before deciding to head back home.“It’s getting late. I might have to leave now. Estie…”Before finishing his sentence, he heard the little girl protesting, “Estie wants to be with Mommy!”Byron glanced at Estelle and continued. “Estie can stay at your place for now. If you’re busy, let me know and I can take the children to my place.”Lucian’s and Nox’s eyes lit up in excitement.They were smart enough to catch the point in Byron’s words.Their daddy said ‘children,’ so that included them.They could not call him ‘Daddy,’ but he had already taken them as his kids.The little ones’ hearts were filled with joy when they realized this.Estelle was delighted and satisfied to hear she could stay with her mommy.Rosalie caressed Estelle’
"What do you mean?!"Melody could not contain her annoyance when she heard her son say that about herself."That woman is Estie's biological mother, but I'm still Estie's grandmother! How would I trigger her emotions just by coming to see her? Yes, I used the wrong way to educate Estie some time ago, but I’ve already apologized and promised that it’ll never happen again!"Byron got a headache from her incessant yelling and pressed his temples with his fingers. "You know it’s your fault that the relationship between you and Estie has become like this."Although he did not know what his mother had done to Estie to make the little one reject her so suddenly, after what happened with Wendy, Byron realized that it was important to follow Little Estie's wishes.In regards to the people Estie rejected, Byron would try his best to keep them away from her life—unless Estie offered to forgive.Melody was shunned by Byron's words, and her face turned ugly. She lowered her voice. "No matter
That night, after Andrius received a message from Byron, he did not sleep well all night.Early the next morning, Andrius strode into Lawrence Manor at dawn."Master Quirke," Mrs. Zora greeted him respectfully.Andrius nodded hastily. "Where’s Master Byron?"Mrs. Zora said, "He went to the study right after his meal."Hearing this, Andrius nodded at Mrs. Zora and headed quickly to the study.He had to ask Byron what yesterday's news truly meant. Otherwise, he would be too worried!At the study’s door, Andrius was about to raise his hand to knock when the door opened from the inside."Why are you here?"Byron looked at the person in front of him indifferently, retreated, and turned around to lead his buddy into the study.Andrius choked up.‘Why am I here? I want to ask Byron why he sent me that message last night!‘I don’t mind being his tool on the daily, but he just handed me a grenade in the middle of the night! I couldn’t even sleep well!”"Buddy, why are you being unr
Andrius rolled his eyes in his heart upon hearing this. ‘Am I not the one who has to do the acquisition?’With the Fuller family’s current situation, they had no capacity to fight back at all. This was just a free pass.Byron looked at him inscrutably.Andrius felt guilty when he saw that, so he changed the subject and asked about the current situation between him and Rosalie."How are you and the missus doing now? You both just went out. Is there no progress at all?"He had been working hard on this plan for a long time.If there really was no progress, Andrius would feel tired for Rosalie!Speaking of what happened in Hino, that night of passion lingered long in Byron's head, and his eyes darkened with a slight smirk.Andrius watched his buddy's expression change but could not guess what it meant, so he stared at him in puzzlement."Hey take it easy, buddy! Don't give me that smile. I'm not the missus!"After he spoke, Byron put away his thoughts, and his expression became
Just as desperate as Wendy was Henry, who had his hands full for several days.Melody's words gave Henry hope, thinking that she could really convince Byron to spare the Fuller family this time.Unexpectedly, Lawrence Corporation's suppression of the Fuller family did not stop and even intensified, pushing them to the point of bankruptcy!Henry's hard work for several days was in vain, and his relatives came to question him one after another.After a few days, most of Henry's hair turned gray.At this moment, Henry was sitting behind the desk in the study, face-to-face with several bank staff in front of him.Several contracts for real estate transactions were clearly laid out on the table.After the bank staff reviewed the contract, they pushed the contract in front of Henry. "Mr. Fuller, please sign here."Henry came back to his senses and glanced at the properties he had worked so hard for. His hands trembled in distress, and he left his signature in a trembling scrawl.The
At the same time, Wendy was sitting in her bedroom, completely disheveled.‘The Quirke family! It's the Quirke family!’In the past few days, while Wendy was busy dealing with the mess, she remembered to investigate the driving force behind this.She thought it would be other families giving them trouble.She never expected it to be Andrius!Without much effort, she could easily guess that Byron must have gotten him to do it!If it was not for Byron’s instigation, Andrius would not have the guts to act rashly!‘Byron Lawrence! You’re so cruel to me! Do you wish to drive me to my death?’Just when Wendy was furious, her room door was suddenly pushed open.Wendy came back to her senses and raised her eyes to look at the door.As soon as she saw who it was, Henry had already slapped her and knocked her over the bed.“Henry!”After the events of the past few days, Magdalene was already worn out from the downfall of the family. She was also triggered by the news that they had to
For the first time, Wendy felt flustered, and turned to ask her mother for confirmation."Mom, is what dad said just now true? Are we really going to move out?"Magdalene was very reluctant, but had to face reality, and nodded with sorrow. "It's true, we won't be able to live here soon."Then, she persuaded her daughter earnestly. "Wendy, listen to your father's advice and stop doing stupid things. Now that the Fuller family has fallen to this point, if something happens to you, even if we want to help, we won’t be able to anymore!"In the past, others might have given the Fullers some favors because of the Lawrence family.Now, the Lawrence family has turned against them, they even almost announce that they brought down the Fuller family.Naturally, no one will give favors to the Fuller family again, not to mention, they could not even recover any money now...Wendy stared at Magdalene in dismay for a few seconds, then raised her eyes to look at the room where she grew up, and
